Can Dental Implants Break? What to Do When This Happens

Dental implants in Vancouver are sturdier and more reliable than other methods of tooth replacement, such as bridges or dentures. When taken care of properly, these dental implants in Vancouver can last for decades. They are sturdy enough to be used as a real tooth. You can use it to bite down on solid foods.


But just like real teeth, dental implants can also break when too much force is exerted. If you eat hard foods like nuts or use your implants to open bottles and packets, for instance, the implants can break. 

In most cases, only the crown breaks or separates from the abutment. It is easy to fix this problem. You can go back to your dentist and have the crown reaffixed if it was a neat break. If the crown was damaged, a new crown will be installed over the abutment. The crown is made from a porcelain composite material, so it can still break.

Only during more severe instances such as a blow or an impact to the mouth can damage the abutment, since it is attached to the gums and the jaw bones. If this is the case, a more extensive repair or surgery is needed.

You can prevent damages from occurring. Avoid eating foods that are too tough or hard to chew on. Do not use your teeth to crack open food like crabs. Use the right tools for those. 

Also make sure your dental implants are made from high-quality composite materials. Get your implants are reputable dental clinics like Ace Dental Centre.
